Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

I was looking at a glistening book on the table, a [Skill Book], albeit a very low ranked one at that. [Fireball], an F ranked spell that only the most unfortunate beginners start with.

But this skill book took a majority of my remaining inheritance, and all of my savings. I was known to be a fairly smart guy before everything went to shit, so I planned ahead before spending most of my money

In the worst-case scenario, I still have enough funds to last me at least a few months.

In the best-case scenario, as planned, I would consume this skill book and hope for a semi-decent talent when I awaken.

Getting this skill book was not easy, but it was the only way to awaken if you did not awaken naturally. The rich had no problem awakening themselves, their children, and their children's children

I look at the skill book again before steeling my resolve and picking it up. Bringing it close to my chest, I close my eyes.

A few seconds pass before I see a flash of light, even though my eyes are closed. Opening them, the book in my hands had disappeared, and at the corner of my eyes something else had appeared

[Vitality: 10]

[Focus: - ]

[Strength: 10]

[Skill(s): Fireball]

Shining with blue light, the words brought confusion more than relief to me. Where the hell were the numbers for focus?

From the released knowledge, ever since the apocalyptic event that killed more than a billion people occurred, a new magical world took its place. People that are termed as Awakened appeared and others could also become awakened through learning [Skill book] that can be dropped from killed monsters

Yes, monsters. Magical beings that most commonly reside in dungeons, and occasionally come out whenever a dungeon break occurs.

as I go, [Vitality] and [Strength] are average, and [Focus], what is

I try the last hail mary I can, actually casting the skill I just

out of my small apartment and

buildings that had high security where you won't suddenly lose your life were high priced. I

did not feel any less energy in my body...Well, my [Focus] was blank, to begin with, so I

I cast what is probably my last fireball until I rest for a while before I

relieved. Being average is not bad, at least with this, I can count myself among the top of many people in the
